In the National Interest – Transport Workers Union Militancy and Insider Threat

Australian media reported in May 2025 that the leader of Australia’s Transport Workers Union (TWU) is prepared to “shut down Australian transport” in 2026 in pursuit of union claims.  In this podcast Pentagram Advisory explores the possible consequences of the TWU threat in the context of the legal obligations that came into effect on 27 March 2025 that transport sector asset owners and operators now face under the Transport Security Amendment (Security of Australia’s Transport Sector) Act 2025 (TSA Act). Especially with regard to personnel security obligations under the TSA Act, TWU members may behave as 'insider threats' that require mitigation. The podcast explores the role of an insider threat program in helping to mitigate these possible threats and how this approach benefits all people and organisations involved .
